Hello all! Amanda here to bring you a little fall flashback!

First off, Happy Thanksgiving to all who celebrate! I cannot wait to dive in to some yummy turkey and fixings! I hope that whatever your plans are, you are safe, happy, and stuffed!!

Today I thought we could highlight some of the fall kits SuzyQ Scraps has in her store at Scrap Orchard! I know I still have quite a few fall pictures I need to scrap!

Check out this fun kit called Fallin’ Into Fun:

And this kit, Thankful Hearts, is perfect for all those moments we are so thankful for:

Perhaps you still have those Halloween pictures you want to scrap? Then you’ll definately want to check out Too Cute To Spook!

Be sure to come back tomorrow for some deals you wont want to miss!!

Is everyone enjoying the new SuzyQ Scraps Store at Scrap Orchard?! Isn’t it so much fun?!

Anyway, today I’m joining in on the fun with a spotlight of our very own, Bre! Take a look…

BRE

1. Your screen name? Your real name? bre11414, Breanne (though I go by bre)

2. Are you married/children/pets? I have been married for 4.5 years (holy cow that’s forever!) No kiddos yet…hopefully someday (not necessarily SOON, just someday! haha) and no pets either…lol

3. Where is home for you? Though I’m currently in Utah, home will always be Wyoming

4. Snacks…Salty or Sweet? hmmm..I need a good balance of both. Depends on my mood too. Sometimes I want salt, sometimes I want sweet, sometimes I need both!

5. Beverage of choice? hmm…water usually, but if I’m feeling risky…I’ll go with Dr. Pepper

6. PC or Mac? What program do you use? Mac all the way. It’s my baby!!! (though I think I may need to upgrade to a new one…hehe…) and I also use an ancient version of Photoshop (7.0)

7. How long have you been digi-scrapping? How did you get started? I’ve been digi-scrapping since February of 2009. I have seen digi scrapping everywhere over the past few years, and I have downloaded freebies to TRY scrapping, but just couldn’t get into it. Then I saw on a friend’s blog that she was getting into it, so I thought…I’ll give it another try. This time I actually went and looked in galleries, got some ideas, and set to it. That was it. I was hooked! I have learned SO much over the past few months. There is just so much to scrapbooking, so many ideas and styles. It’s amazing to me!

8. Do you have any other hobbies besides digi-scrapping (are there other hobbies)? Lol! I own my own photography business, as well as a design business (wedding/graduation/birth etc. announcements/invitations/cards) lol. Outside of all that, I also love playing volleyball, and playing the xbox (way too much!) with my hubby!

9. What is the most challenging part of scrapbooking for you? hmmm….I guess I try too much to be like everyone else. I see so many amazing LOs I think, I want to do that, and I lose my own personal touch. So the most challenging part is being myself in my scrapbooking..lol (if that made ANY sense!)

10. What are your favorite movies/TV shows? Oh my heck…do you really want me to list them? Alright..movies: Chick Flicks!!! How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, 13 Going on 30, Legally Blonde (1 & 2)…I also love any good comedy: Napoleon Dynamite, Employee of the Month…oh gosh there are too many to list! DH and I watch a LOT of movies! (Though I have YET to see New Moon! I know…it’s been like a day!) TV shows I have a lot too. I pretty much love the CW. One Tree Hill is my fave and America’s Next Top Model. I also watch (and love) the Disney Channel…(don’t laugh!) iCarly (yes I’m pretty much a 13 year old!) and this is random, but I love Around the Horn on ESPN. (I laugh at it daily) There are a lot more. I probably watch way too much TV!

11. What is something unique about you? hmm…I can never think of these on the spot…I played college volleyball, and have been playing volleyball since I was about 5 years old. (My dad was a coach so i practically grew up in the gym!

And here are some amazing layouts from Bre. She has such an eye for color and composition.

Now it’s your turn to win $10 to SuzyQ’s store! This is how it works. I will give you the instructions, you create your LO, then come back to THIS POST, leave a comment linking us to your layout. You have until November 30, 11:59 PM EST to complete this challenge.

Instructions

There are 4 categories: Main color, main element, number of photos, and inspiration. Since this month we celebrate Thanksgiving here in the US, lets create our LOs to show what we’re thankful for!

To figure out what your main color should be, take the day you were born, add up the digits until you have a single digit. For example, if I was born on the 29th day, I would do this: 2+9=11, then 1+1=2. My main color is green. I was actually born on the 2nd day, so green should be the main color on my LO.

To determine what the main element should be on your page, take the number of the month you were born. I was born in the 7th month, so I need to use swirls! If you were born in the 10, 11, or 12 month, you add the digits until you get a single digit (ex. the 11th month would be 1+1=2, so you would use buttons.) You can use other elements, but your main element should be the one that is your month.

To find out how many pictures your LO should have (the same picture duplicated is okay!), you add the digits of the year you were born. Example: 1986, 1+9+8+6=24, 2+4=6, my LO should have two pictures. No more, no less!

Category 4 is your age and will determine what you should use as your inspiration. This month in addition to scrapping about what you’re thankful for, you are also going to scraplift one of the QTs. They all have awesome galleries, so this should be fun. Take your age, add it until you get a single digit, and you’ve got your inspiration. I am 23, so 2+3=5. I get to scraplift my4boys!

You can use your birthday, or your child’s or whoever’s birthday you want to use. Just have fun and be creative!!!

Here are your categories:

Here are links to the QTs galleries for you to use for your scraplifts:
Susan aka IvoryKeys
Mel aka KSCroppyChick
Melissa aka dolbydawgs
Ellie aka Ellie80
Christine aka my4boys
Meghann aka scrapmonster
Amanda aka Manderin Oranges
Athena aka digilicious
Leila aka Leila

Here is my LO. I scraplifted this LO by my4boys called You 2 Color My World. (using the birthday 7/2/1986)

Post the link to your LO as a comment so we can see your creations. Any questions, please ask! One lucky winner will receive a $10 GC to SuzyQ’s store. You have until November 30, 11:59 EST to do this challenge. Looking forward to seeing your creations!

AND, don’t forget to read the post SuzyQ herself made before this one for more opportunities to win GCs to her store!!
